Talking with a friend, I see my writing has shifted solidly digital. I tend to create on a device, mostly my tablet, or my phone, then computer. I'll go weeks without touching my notebook.
I love the ability to edit, and unedit. There is a zen-like impermanence to this medium. Changing things feels powerful.
On occasion, I wonder what historical research will be like. Probably an archeological dig through our data, sifting through millions of photos, notes and stories, aggregating our lives.
Strange combination of fluidity, impermanence and ageless data shall flow together into a richer understanding of who we were, collectively and individually.
